<p>Whatsup everyone</p>
<p>So I've heard that most people avid living on North like it's the plague. But I'm an engineering student, so most of my classes will be there. What are the pros/cons for each campus? From kids at UMich.</p>
<p>The way i see it:</p>
<p>North Camp
Pros- really close to my classes
Cons- less people, less social?</p>
<p>Central camp
Pros- lot of people, where everything is, parties etc.
Cons- bus ride to classes, not with engineers rly</p>
<p>What do u think?</p>
<p>I believe most, if not all the first year engineering classes are not located on the North Campus…</p>
<p>"I believe most, if not all the first year engineering classes are not located on the North Campus… "</p>
<p>BS. Technically there are only 2 first year engineering classes, Engr 100 and Engr 101. They are both on north. Math, Physics and Chem are NOT considered “first year ENGINEERING classes”, they are engineering REQUIREMENTS.</p>
<p>Also, it depends on how prepared you are from high school. For people with a reasonable amount of AP credit, he can expect to have most of his classes on north as a freshman.</p>
<p>I like north campus better because the library is open 24/7, it’s quieter, and the people there tend to take their schoolwork much more seriously.</p>
<p>On central, it’s really quite difficult to find a quiet place in the undergrad or grad libraries, so I have to go somewhere else to find quiet (no, I’m not telling) if I don’t feel like going to north campus.</p>
<p>In my experience, north campus is a much better and more serious academic environment when compared to central campus.</p>
<p>Aside from the semantics that Bearcats seems to be using to make a point in his post, this is straight from the admissions office. “In the vast majority of cases, First Year Engineers will take the majority of their courses on the central campus.” “The Central Campus is also desirable in terms of socialization, which is an important aspect of the first year experience for all first year students.” So, as an engineer, even though many of the courses that you’re taking are “NOT considered first year ENGINEERING classes” per se, I think I answered your question as to the relative desireability of Central campus housing over North campus housing, and Michigan Admissions agrees with me.</p>
<p>Oh, and Bearcats: Didn’t you transfer to a more ELITE institution yet?</p>
<p>Please reread your sentence: "I believe most, if not all the first year engineering classes are not located on the North Campus… "</p>
<p>did I say a freshman won’t take classes on central? I was saying you were technically wrong. There are only 3 freshman classes listed in to college of engineering, Engr 100, 101 and 110, and they are on north campus. those are your “freshman engineering classes”.</p>
<p>“I like north campus better because the library is open 24/7, it’s quieter, and the people there tend to take their schoolwork much more seriously.

<p>Sorry bro, but these are all bad aspects for college haha.</p>
<p>I’m glad I was able to answer your question jhchawk.</p>

<p>Yeah, but you’ll probably change your mind after that first semester 1.6 GPA. </p>
<p>I’m in engineering, I’ve lived both of central and north, mainly on central. Whichever one you choose, you don’t have to spend all your time there. You can live on central and go up to north for class and to study at Dude. You can live on north and go down to central to have fun, or whatever. It’s really not that big of a deal either way.</p>
<p>assuming you’re taking the classes an avg michigan student would, i advise u to stay in central cuz traveling from north to central 5 days a week is goign to be a pain. each semester you’ll only have 1 engin class which is at north, the rest are all at central~</p>

<p>LOLLLLLLLL… Am I supposed to be scared of an internet thug?</p>
<p>i’m an engineering freshman living in markley. markley is the first year experience. it’s rowdy and social, but i like to go out on the weekends so i don’t mind it. in regards to the libraries on central not being quiet… the ugli is pretty loud, although the fourth floor can be nice. but the grad ref room is quiet (although i have sometimes been stuck near people trying to do group work, but usually no one carries out conversations), and the study carrels are super quiet, so i don’t know what that person is talking about. </p>
<p>i, also, don’t know what bearcats is talking about how if you have more AP credits you’ll be taking more than 1 class a semester on north… i know a kid with over 50 credits but his engineering classes are still just the freshman requirements (although he tested into EECS 280 instead of beginning programming)</p>
<p>i’d honestly recommend central campus, especially if you like to have fun. i’m not gonna lie, the amount i went out during the semester dropped a lot towards the end, but i still think i balanced a good amount of fun and school with a gpa between 3.2-3.4 this semester.</p>

<p>Where is that usually?</p>
